Karval School District RE-23
Official state framework reviewed. This page separates confirmed evidence from details families still need to verify directly with the district.
What the evidence confirms
Gifted Education / Advanced Learning Plan (ALP)
Colorado's Exceptional Children's Educational Act requires administrative units—including districts and multi-district BOCES—to identify and serve gifted learners.
How services work: Every identified learner receives an Advanced Learning Plan with standards-based academic and affective goals and programming aligned to individual strengths and needs. Local administrative-unit plans describe the available services.
How students are identified: Identification begins with referral or universal screening and uses a body of evidence gathered from multiple sources over time; no single data point determines gifted identification.

The state framework applies here, but the district’s current local name, referral calendar, identification tools, service locations, and grade-by-grade delivery still need direct district confirmation.
State context
Colorado gifted education requirements
Colorado requires administrative units to identify and serve gifted learners and to maintain comprehensive and annual program plans under the Exceptional Children's Educational Act.
For families: Identification uses a body of evidence rather than one score. Every identified learner receives an Advanced Learning Plan, while available programming and optional early access vary locally.
